It has been a really, really, really long time since I have been so excited, almost giddy, about a conference experience. Maybe going back to the first Open Education ones, or better yet, to the Northern Voice conferences 10 years ago. Perhaps I wrote conferences off, but last week’s Digital Media and Learning conference held […]
It’s after 11:00PM, hours after co-leading a 6+ hour pre-conference workshop at the 2016 DML Conference, and my adrenaline is still pumping. And feeling a bit daunted in how to summarize this, an off the cuff tweet sort of says it: I did an 8 hour commercial for them today at #2016dml To be blogged… […]
One would be hard pressed not to appreciate the beauty of roses. Juliet made the case that Romeos last name did not matter. A close up photograph helps a young creative man decide between a career in music or photography. Portland crowns itself as the City of Roses but they are not alone. While I […]

For anyone following my photostream in flickr, it is hard to ignore the presence of my adopted dog, Felix. I’ve got 420 tagged photos of him in 6 months! There was really good light from the window on him yesterday as he focused on his chores of chewing bones. Often he stops what he is […]
This week we are launching a new effort to get the word out for and to draw in participation to the Creative Commons Certification project. As an idea that emerged from our recent team meeting and thinkathon, each week we will initiate an activity via twitter via the #CCquest hashtag. The plan is to issue […]
After a few years of little use, in the last few months I’ve been semi-casually posting photos to Instagram. My primary destination remains flickr (despite repeated rumors every year of its imminent death). At night I pick one or two from my iPhone flickr app, and use its sharing option to put into Instagram. I […]
Such disappointment, as promised. Earlier this month I stayed up late one night to catch Josie Fraser’s keynote at the 2016 ALT-C Conference; you know it’s going to be a good talk when it’s Josie, but even better when it’s got a title like “In the Valley of the Trolls” I would watch it if […]
I go way back with Cole Camplese, when I was still at the Maricopa Community Colleges and he was at Penn State University doing assessments with a click wheel iPod. He was the person in 2007, when I was “what is the use of twitter” who gave an actual compelling use case. We’ve blogged back […]
Tony Bates recently posted Who are the founding fathers of distance education? following the release of a Steve Wheeler produced video interview with Tony and other identified “fathers” Michael Moore and Sir John Daniel. As he is, Tony humbly downplays his role, and lists five other suggestions in his post, inviting others to add comment […]
